Jabroni Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 http://rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/p...ort=NFL&id=2160 Latest News Mar. 16, 2005 - 2:23 pm et Vikings signed Brad Johnson to four-year, $6 million contract, that includes a $1.2 million signing bonus and a $2.2 million total payout in the first year. The deal includes a $1.2 million signing bonus and a $2.2 million total payout in the first year. So much for looking for playing time. Johnson will be Daunte Culpepper's next capable backup. Chicago and Seattle are still looking for backups, but the QB carousel just stopped. Damn. I guess Jeff Blake is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 That about does it in terms of decent available backups. Angelo really dropped the ball with Fielder. Apparently, Fiedler was deeply offended by the Bear's offer. Well, the current depth chart: 1) Grossman 2) Hutchinson 3) Kitner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Johnson's going back home. But it'll be the same results, dissapointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 If the bears want a good back up, they should go after Packers Craig Nall, i'm a packers fan so ive seen him play and he's pretty sharp. He's restricted free agent but i think its like a 5 round pick. Some other QB that were behind Brett Favre for a while - Matt Hassleback, Mark Brunell, Aaron Brooks.

Did you see the ridiculously stupid picks he threw last season? I know he had no offensive line but damn, it was almost like he was trying to throw the ball to the other team's players.

Jabroni Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Lions, reportedly as Harrington's backup. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep. The best free agent QB's left are Jeff Blake and Quincy Carter. Since Carter is a coke-head, I would take my chances on Blake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Rex goes down again, we're f***ed again. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed he still has an arm when he played for the Ravens in 2002 and the Cardinals in 2003. He would be a decent backup.

Dick Allen Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I think the Bears should sign Doug Flutie. He was waived by San Diego. I know he's old and probably sucks, but he's better than Hutchinson, is kind of fun to watch, and would be coming full circle in his NFL career.

Fiedler was the best option for the Bears. Hands down. If they would have landed him, it would have been a first-class signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Jay Fiedler sucked. You're better off with Craig Krenzel. I would sign Carter over Blake, but wouldn't mind Blake. Carter was a sharp backup last year and has proved he could play. I honestly think the Bears should just resign Jeff George though. He knows every offense basically and he could throw the ball deep.

He looked terrible, he has no future in the NFL. Good guy, but get him the hell off my team. However, I agree on the George point. He should be resigned, and I think he will. I anticipate the Bears carrying four QBs on the roster. 1) Grossman 2) Hutchinson 3) Kitner 4) George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
